Surfanarchist welcome aboard! Glad to have you join us. Anything from LSG is going to be a top notch smoker. Just be aware they have a very LONG waiting list once you place an order. It will be many months (maybe a year!) before it ships. If you want to smoke in the meantime, there are other low cost charcoal grills (like a Weber or SNS kettle) that can double as an excellent smoker, if you want to up your smoking game while you wait on the LSG to arrive.

Good advice here. If you need a stop-gap, you can almost always pick up a Weber Kettle cheap on Craig's List or FB Marketplace. I used one as my primary smoker for a few years. Lots of good info online about how to smoke with one.

Welcome to the Pit from the Florida Suncoast. I don't know anyone who doesn't like their LSG cooker. But they are expensive and the wait borders on interminable. Please ask questions. People here love to share advice.

Welcome from the California Delta.
LSG cookers are great. I have had their vertical insulated smoker for 2 years (took4 months to get) and love it. I will be getting their Santa Maria grill this Friday (took 2 1/2 months)
I have a Yoder pellet grill which is made in Kansas. LSG had not come out with theirs yet. Everyone that has one loves it.

Welcome to the Pit from St. Cloud, FL.

I have a LSG pellet grill (and a LSG offset) so let me know if you have any questions.

Welcome from the northern Virginia burbs of the nation's capital. You will be inundated with advice on what to buy! I'll give you the bottom line up front, what all that advice will boil down to: Buy everything.

I agree with jfmorris, a Weber or SnS kettle will both get you through while the LSG is under construction, and provide a cooking method that complements a pellet rig exceedingly well once it arrives. Coincidentally, my own lineup is an SnS kettle, vertical pellet smoker, and simple gas grill, and I feel like there isn't much I can't get at. Best of luck and above all, have fun!
